noticed in walk through the park a few
days ago that the tricycle. is becoming very
popular, and more especially the machine
known as the tandem tricycle.. 1t is the
proper Ihning iOf lady ana gentleman TO use
spinning along merrily over the hard walks
of the park. Come of the ladies wore jaunty
little caps and blue flannel dresses trimmed
with white braid. The effect was very pleas
ing. These tricycles are much more expen-
sive than the bicycles. A good one costs in
the neighborhood of $500, and some come as
high as $500. 1t will be remembered that an
American artist and his wife made a trip
through England and the continent on one
of these machines not long ago. The trip
was described In one of the magazines, a, /
of course that gave boom to tricycle. riding
The labor of working these machines is about
equally divided between the two riders, and
they are especially well adapted to long dis
lance travelling, but are practically out of
reach of any one not having good bank &C

morning. and thus accoutred, we started
on our first chicken hunt. Belle was first to
take her seat in the buggy, for well she
knew what was on hand. After we had
driven short distance over the prairie the
team was stopped and she was ordered
to begin work. / may say, by the way,
that a prairie is one of natures most
deceptive works. While it looks so
smooth and inviting for drive it is
really almost as rough as bed of rocks.
Belle quartered the ground ahead of us
in beautiful style, and had not gone far
before we beheld her 1.-the form drawn
up in most striking attitude. We drove
to within few yards of her and jumped
from the buggy. The picture was too
beautiful to destroy, and we stood long
time gazing in admiration upon the
beautiful animal She was leaning
slightly forward with head and tail
extended on line with her back, her
right forefoot drawn up. Her eyes
beamed with the most intense excite
ment; but save the quivering of her lips
she looked like statue.
The charm was broken by the sudden
whir OF two grouse as they rose from the
tall grass. Hardly had our two guns
cracked before up rose three more, and
then half dozen, singly and in pairs. 1t
was quick and exciting work, as the guns
doomed in rapid succession, but Belle
held her stand until the last bird
raised We had gotten in eight shots
and picked up seven birds.
A mile further on we came to the edge
of a stubble field and drew up to watch
Belle working on what seemed fresh
scent. For ten minutes she "roaded"
carefully through the stubble and at
length came to stand. The covey,
when flushed, rose altogether, but we
succeeded in getting a double each.
After we had driven off little way we
looked for Belle and saw her standing but
short distance from where the covey
had Just been flushed. Thinking
it must be the old scent we tried to call
her off, but she refused to come. Upon
going back to her we found she ha.
another covey, from which we bagt ed
three more birds. Once more getting
into the buggy we started off. Soon dis
covering that Belle did not follow us we
looked back and were greatly surprised
to see her standing stanchly but short
distance beyond where the last birds
raised. This seemed rather puzzling, 30

the morning turn them out and eat with
sugar and cream, or with cream only.
SCALLoPED Goldfish, WITH CHEEsE.-SOak n
pound of sailed Goldfish six hours in tepid
water, then boil it. When cold, pick into
flakes with fork and season with pepper.
Heat cup of milk to a boil, stir into it a
tablespoonful Of butter rolled in two of pre-
pour into bake dish. Stew grated cheese
thickly on top and bake in quick oven to a
delicate brown. 1t is yet nicer if you add a
raw egg to the mixture before cooking it.
BUTTERMILK BIsCUIT.-One quart of -four,
one teaspoonful of soda sifted three times
with the flour and teaspoonful of salt one
pint of really sour buttermilk, one table
spoonful of melted butter. Sift flour, soda
and salt into a bowl, stir buttermilk and milk
together and pour into hole in the -four.
Mix quickly and with as little handling as
possible. Be careful on this point, also, not
to get the dough too stiff. Have your oven
ready and hot. As soon as the biscuits are
cut out put them in and bake. They are ex-

But nothing charms the readers sight,

AS little frailties which delight
And weak nesses that make us kin.
IT'S part of natures tickle plan
That follies handicap the great;
And so we may forgive the man
For rising to ahigh estate.
And thus with cynic secret thrill,
We laugh at every weak mischance,

The Mouth OF the Alligator q Receptacle
For All Kinds of Insects.
An observer down South says an alligator's
throat is an animated sewer. Everything
which lodges in his open mouth goes down
He ID a lazy dog and instead of hunting for
something to eat he lets his victuals hunt
mouth open, apparently dead, like the pos
sum. Soon bug crawls into it, then fly,
then several gnats and a colony of mosqui-
toes. The alligator doesn't close his mouth
yet. He is waiting for a whole drove of
things. He does his eating by wholesale. A
little later a lizard will cool himself under
the shade of the upper jaw. Then a few
frogs will hop up to catch the mosquitoes.
Then more mosquitoes and gnats will light
on the frogs. Finally whole village of in
sects and reptiles settle down for an after
noon picnic. Then all at once there is an
earthquake. The big jaw falls, the alligator
blinks one eye, gulps down the entire me-
nagerie and opens his great front door again
for more visitors.-Sctentifc american.

Mary Anderson's Ghost story.

day as Coming from tie lips q the sa ACTRESS 1ess
herself, thrilling and thoroughly vouched
for ghost story. 1t appeared that the Coun-
tess of Knebworth, the wife Of Owen Mere
dith. met Mary in London and took marked
fancy to her. They were frequently seen to-
gether in Mayfair, and finally, when people
commenced returning to the country, the
Countess carried Miss Anderson down to
Knebworth Castle. 1t was on the last even
ing of her stay, and the guests were collected
in the CounteSs'S little sitting room for five
o'clock tea. As the dusk came on the talk
fell upon family ghosts, and Miss Anderson
confessed her great desire to make the ac-
quaintance of one. Having lived in America
where family sghosts are somewhat scarce,
one. The Earl, who inherits much of his ia.
nous fathers taste for the occult and super
natural, then proceeded to tell the most hair
lifting tales about the family ghosts of his
aristocratlc friends, and confessed that in
chamber Just what the character of the
haunt was he could not say, for no one
had been brave enough to sleep In the room
Tor half hundred years. and there was only
lne misty tradition to the effect that ghosts
sleep elsewhere. Miss Anderson immedi-
ately became fired with desire to form the
acquaintance of the Knebworth ghost and
pleaded that she might be allowed to spend
her last night in the haunted chamber. Her
hosts objected and tried to dissaude her, but
she persisted until they yielded onl the con-
dltl0n that her maid should also sleep In the
room upon lounge. Late in the night. but
at what hour Miss Anderson could not tell.
she was suddenly awakened by a frightful
pressure upon her chest which She could not
throw on and which deprived her of the
power Of speech or movement Almost daod
with terror she finally managed to gasp out
the name of her maid and was answered
only by smothered cry. With superhu-
sprang out of bed, only to find the maid suf-
1erlng In the same way, unable to move or
speak. They Lit their candle and sat there
shivering. with fright until daylight came to
their relief and aroused the rest of the
household. And Miss Anderson declared
that her nerves were. unstrung for weeks
afterwards from the shock she had received.
No explanation of the curious incident was
ever discovered
